Like the Vancouver Election Blog Contest, we will pay weekly cash prizes to the top-ranked contestants. There’s no entry fee, and anyone can enter a blog or other media. Our goals are to improve voter information and engagement in their democratic communities, but contestants and voters are free to emphasize whatever content they choose.

The contests differ on their voter registration method and ballot access:- Vancouver ballot is an open web page with no registration required;- UBC registration and ballot are on the university’s Vista Blackboard course management system;- Langara students register to vote by emailing me their mylangara email address; then each week I email them a link to the ballot.
